The European Union has decided to renew two anti-dumping duties on products from China and Thailand, in two implementing regulations published in the Official Journal of the EU on Tuesday 17 October.
Pipe fittings. The first renewal concerns imports of ‘threaded tube or pipe cast fittings, of malleable cast iron and spheroidal graphite cast iron’ for which the definitive anti-dumping duties were renewed in 2019. In November 2022, the Commission reopened a partial review following a request lodged by the importer KW Tools, which concerned the definition of products subject to anti-dumping duties. After examination, the Commission has decided to modify this definition to clarify the exact type of products concerned.

Citric acid. The second concerns imports of citric acid as a “new exporter”. Seven Star Lemon Technology applied to the Commission in May 2022 to review the anti-dumping duties on its exports, which had only begun after the Commission’s decision to renew the duties in 2021. After examination, the Commission decided to introduce duties of 31.5% for the company.
